                               A VULGAR PICTURE
                            The Black Dahlia Murder
                         (From The 2005 Album Miasma)


Transcribed by Jonathan Casper (confinedforever)

Tune guitars to standard down 2 steps (not dropped C)

Gtr I (C F Bb Eb G C) - 'Brian Eschbach'
Gtr II (C F Bb Eb G C) - 'John Kempainen'
Gtr III (C F Bb Eb G C) - 'Lead'

Leave me feedback, it's the only way I know whether to make corrections or not.
